Saint Keef

P&O Cruises have just removed their shirt sponsorship. They thought Southampton was on a coastal town. Meanwhile one of their ships has just docked.....in Leicester.

Probably a good move for everyone at this stage and I wish him well. Will always remember his goal v WBA in the play-off semi final at St Mary's and his through ball for Armstrong's goal in the final. Two of my happiest days as a Saints fan, so if for nothing else, thanks for those Will. and best wishes.

Ten Hag sacked after two league games at Bayer Leverkusen A Bundesliga record! Three ex-Man U managers now sacked this week. Might their current one join that list? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cd7y19095rno

I know very little about contract law (well....nothing actually), but one would assume that Glasgow Rangers have protected themselves somewhat in their contract with Russell Martin. That... 1) If, after two months, the aforementioned Mr Russell Martin has shown himself to be totally out of his depth and utterly inept at his job 2) Has alienated just about everybody on the blue side of Glasgow, whilst at the same time, causing much mirth and delight to the green side 3) Has failed to win a single game in the Scottish Premiership against so-called inferior opponents 4) Has shown himself to be an utter knob of the highest degree 5) Has shown signs that he is more interested in ranges of hair products, than in the fitness of the squad members 6) Has used the same disastrous tactics as used in his previous tenure as a coach (you poor, poor Southampton supporters - we are feeling your pain) and is incapable of playing in any other style 7) Is likely to finish tenth or thereabouts, in what is traditionally a two-horse race Has purchased his own extra large bus, in order that he can throw the entire team under it Then we, Glasgow Rangers (who were totally taken in by his hipster bullshit) can relieve him of his duties and not pay him a single Scottish pound.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c7vlzjd3nero Apologies if already mentioned on here, but is that the £28m they'd earmarked for Dibling?

He spoke of players having problems with their ego's. Hey Russ, if you want to see what a real ego looks like, next time you're passing a mirror, stop and take a look. Actually he probably doesn't need much encouragement to do that.

I see Mad Nate's at it again. Embarrassing in the extreme. "Nurse, he's out of bed again".

Not sure which thread to post this into, but I thought our friend Turkish might be interested in the BBC title of this article....... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cly4n430knpo What is going on Turkish? Cheers

PASSIVE? PASSIVE? How can you say that? I am on the verge of writing an extremely strongly worded letter to SR......or maybe I'll leave it a couple of weeks and see how things pan out.

Who is this 60 year old Dad and is he any good? Perhaps HCDAJFU

I wouldn't put him in charge of the the burger/chip van opposite St Mary's. He's somehow manage to fuck that up. "I ordered a burger.....and this is a sausage" 0-3 Bournemouth by the way.

If that doesn't work Whitey, we can always put the buckets over our heads and then we won't have to watch.

Those of us old enough to remember.....Saints fans putting their hands in their pockets and putting money in buckets, to help try and save Bournemouth when they were on the skids and looked like they were going out of business. Okay, Saints fans, it's PAYBACK time! .......anyone got a spare bucket they don't need?

It's surely only a matter of time before the clueless hierarchy running this shit show, look around them and go "Oooooh look. Wayne Rooney's out of work. We've heard of him. Didn't he used to be a good footballer? Let's see if he wants to be our coach". It really wouldn't surprise me. Fuck me......I hope I haven't put any ideas in their heads.

NURSE!!!! He's out of bed again!

For some time, I've had the belief that we are really, really bad. However I've just discovered that we are actually worse than that. We are a basket case thanks to the perpetual godawful decisions by our so called hierarchy!

He really isn't very good is he? How many jobs does he have to fail at before they realise? Agree with S-Clarke's comment above. Oy Rasmus! NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Hello All. Well, as this doesn't seem to be a Saints specific thread (I get the Ivan - Death Metal connection) as such, and more about music, can I take this opportunity to divert you away from Death Metal momentarily, towards more of a Country Rock/Americana genre. For many (too many!) years I have played in bands and since 2008 have had a band called ONE FOR THE ROAD. We are currently at Number 4 in the CMR Nashville Radio, HOT DISC British & Irish chart, which is a 24/7 internet radio station and broadcasts to 82 different countries worldwide. Our current single is called Tequila Senorita. It is an original song. The video is here.....and for those "petrol heads" interested, that is a 1948 Chevy pick up truck we got to mess around with. On 1st January we are releasing a second single called Scorpions, again written by me and the band. I have just discovered AI and have put together the video for this using AI generated images. Both videos have hopefully embedded themselves successfully. Both songs are from our ONE FOR THE ROAD - SUNSETS & SILHOUETTES 2024 album available on all the major download and streaming sites. If you get a few spare moments over this busy period, please do give them a listen and if you think they are worthy enough, then feel free to spread them on your own social media platforms. (my thanks in advance) So, apologies for hijacking this "non-Saints" thread and thank you for taking the time to read this. I wish all fellow Saints fans a happy new year. We've had enough suffering for one season thank you very much - time to put some results together. Cheers and Regards Saintkeef.

My girlfriend says I'm a stalker. Well, she's not actually my girlfriend..................yet! Anyway, wishing you all a Happy Christmas. Peace & Love.

Ivan The Magician if he can get us out of this shit.

No doubt we'll get "sightings" soon enough, but in the meantime, the bloke who works on my car, his brother's mate reckons he saw Rafa Benitez filling up his Datsun Cherry with unleaded earlier, at the M27 Services. Mind you, he also saw Steve Cooper gulping down a flat white in Costa's, Graham Potter wearing a faded Brighton shirt, Fat Sam scoffing down a double Whopper with cheese and large fries in Burger King, Joey Barton picking a fight with the security guard, Jose Mourinho grabbing a take-away Espresso, Gareth Southgate studying the non-fiction paperbacks in WH Smith, four unidentified Danish geezers in track-suits (they reportedly "looked like the sporty types"), Roy Hodgson doing "squats" in the car-park and, you can believe this or not, it's entirely up to you, Russell Martin "Quaffing" his hair in the Gents and telling anyone who was willing to listen, just how good he is at everything. I don't claim any ITK knowledge here, but the source does seem reliable.

A RUUD awakening for Van Nistelrooy (see what I did there?)

Yes RM, it is extremely "embarrassing". Have you stopped to wonder why? I don't get the "hurtful" bit. "Deeply fucking depressing" would have been a better choice of words. When you eventually leave, as you surely will, we will get Joe Lumley to hand to you, your extremely large "pay off". You can then give it to KWP who will hand it on to THB, who will then give it back to KWP and he in turn, will hand it back to you. You will then give it back to Joe Lumley who unfortunately will miss it and it will end up back in the Saints bank account......at which point you can disappear out of our club.

Time to practice what you preach Russell. Be brave. Be very brave. Show us how brave you are by walking away from Saints, and as a token of your complete and utter bravery, leave your (purported) £12m on the table when you go.

Exactly. I have nothing to say, but I did have a full manicure before telling you guys that I had nothing to say.
